Storwize V3500 environmental requirements
Before you install a Storwize® V3500 system, your physical environment must meet certain requirements. This includes verifying that adequate space is available and that requirements for power and environmental conditions are met.
Safety notices
Use the following general safety information for all rack-mounted devices:
- Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled.
- Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
- Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
- To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
- Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top
of rack-mounted devices.
- Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing.
- Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet.
- An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (R001 part 1 of 2)
- Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.
- Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.
- Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
- (For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.
- (For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack. (R001 part 2 of 2)
Power requirements for each power supply (two per enclosure)
Ensure that your environment meets the following power requirements.
The power that is used by the system depends on various factors, including the number of enclosures and drives in the system and the ambient temperature.
Model and type | PSU | Input power requirements | Maximum input current | Maximum power output | Caloric value (BTU/hr) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2071-02A Control Enclosure with 12 3.5-inch drive slots | 358 W (2) | 100 V to 240 V single phase AC Frequency: 50 Hz to 60 Hz |
10A for 100 V 6A for 240 V |
358 W | 1222 |
2071-10A Control Enclosure with 24 2.5-inch drive slots | 405 W (2) | 405 W | 1383 |
Model and type | Configuration | Total power consumption | Caloric value (BTU/hr) |
---|---|---|---|
2071-02A | Dual canister |
334 | 1141 |
2071-10A | Dual canister |
382 | 1305 |
Each Storwize V3500 enclosure contains two PSUs for redundancy. The total power consumption values represent the total power that is drawn by both PSUs.
Environmental requirements
Ensure that your environment falls within the ranges that are shown in Table 3.
Environment | Ambient temperature | Altitude | Relative humidity | Maximum dew point |
---|---|---|---|---|
Operating | 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) |
0 - 3050 m (0 - 10,006 ft) |
20% to 80% noncondensing | 21°C (69°F) |
Non-operating | -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 125°F) |
0 - 3050 m (0 - 10,006 ft) |
8% to 80% noncondensing | 27°C (80°F) |
Storage | 1°C to 60°C (33°F to 140°F) |
No limit | 5% to 80% noncondensing | 29°C (84°F) |
Shipping | -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F) |
No limit | 5% to 100% noncondensing | 29°C (84°F) |
Dimensions and weight
Ensure that space is available in a rack, capable of supporting the enclosure based on the data shown in Table 4.
